Dining Information

Meal plans include Dining Dollars, which can be used at the dining hall and Lion’s Den. Dining dollars are carried from fall to spring semester. Any remaining dining dollars are not refunded. We also offer Lions bucks (declining balance) for the MSSU one card. There is a 10% discount per every food service dollar deposited on the card. There is no limited balance requirement. Lions bucks carry over from semester to semester and on to the next academic year.

When dining at the Mayes Dining Hall a meal will be deducted from the meal plan. Resident meal plans are reset weekly on Monday morning. If the weekly allowance of meals is exceeded meals can be purchased as needed. These extra meals can be paid for with the included Dining Dollars, cash or credit card.
